Nocturnal polyuria is one of the main pathogenic mechanisms of enuresis. Disturbance of circadian rhythm of antidiuretic hormone (ADH or AVP), hypercalciuria, and/or solute diuresis are considered to cause nocturnal polyuria, which in turn causes enuresis in patients with relatively small bladder capacity and high threshold for awakening. Evaluation of these factors would guide the therapeutic approach for enuresis.

PURPOSE: This is a descriptive study conducted in order to survey sleep patterns and factors responsible for sleep disturbance among adolescent cancer patients after hospital admission. METHODS: The study group included 46 adolescent cancer patients aged 10 to 19 who received admission care in multi-bed hospital rooms from March to June 2016. Data on patterns and quality of sleep, and factors causing sleep disturbance were recorded using the Verran and Snyder-Halpern (VSH) Sleep Scale, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and a sleep disturbance questionnaire. RESULTS: There was no difference in patterns and quality of sleep prior to and after hospital admission in the study group. However, patients experienced sleep disturbance, as defined by PSQI > 5, both before (5.43) and after (6.30) admission. The most important physical, emotional and environmental factors causing sleep disturbance after admission were nocturnal diuresis, monotony of admission care, and crying of younger patients respectively. CONCLUSION: This study focused on sleep patterns and factors causing sleep disturbance after hospital admission for adolescent cancer patients. Future studies should aim to develop nursing interventions resulting in an environment that improves sleep quality. Additional studies should focus on developing daytime programs to determine the impact of admission care on other quality of life parameters.

In this study, effects of the intraventricular and intravenous dimethylphenylpiperazinium (DMPP) on the renal function of rabbits were investigated. Intraventricular DMPP (100 microgram) elicited diuresis following antidiuresis concomitant with the changes in renal blood flow, glomerular filtration rate and urinary excretory amount of electrolytes (Na and K). The changes in urine flow correlated with the changes in renal blood flow, glomerular filtration rate and excretory rates of electrolytes in urine. Intravenous DMPP (50 microgram/kg) did not affect the renal function.

Renal functional changes following relief of obstruction were investigated with a prospective aspect in a series of 15 postoperative patients using standard renal function measurements with emphasis on osmolar and free water clearance. Sequential measurements of free water clearance revealed earlier changes of postoperative renal function than that of standard renal function. The advantage of this measurement was in postoperative patients with adequate amount of urine output or diuresis. It may be helpful to the management of patients with obstructive uropathy and to early prediction of acute renal failure, especially in patients with post-obstructive diuresis.

The present experiment was designed to investigate renal function in conscious rabbits. Pentobarbital caused some reduction of urinary volume and hemohynamics, but the changes were not significant. UnaV, UkV, UclV were not changed by pentobarbital in dose of 3.0~9.0mg/kg i.v.. Urinary flow snd UclV were not changed by pentothal sodium, 5.0mg/kg i.v., but the UnaV and UclV increased from 30.61 to 66.19 uEq/min, from 28.29 to 62.91 uEq/min respectively, after pentothal sodium. There was no change in urinary potassium secretion after pentothal sodium. Left renal arterial infusion of pentothal sodium caused small changes in GFR, and clear increments of UnaV and UclV localized in that kidney in the urethane anesthetized rabbit. Natriuretic and chloruretic effect of pentothal sodium were not seen in mannitol diuresis. These data suggest that 1) the effects of pentobarbital and pentothal may not be the sam in conscious rabbit renal function, 2) natriuretic and chloruetic effect by pentothal may be caused by direct inhibition of sodium reabsorption in the distal nephron in the rabbit.

In diabetic patients who were being treated with hemodialysis, coma and other neurological deficits did not occur in spite of extremely elevated serum glucose levels. In this report, we compared diabetic patients with renal failure in severe hyperglycemia with nonketotic hyperosmolar coma patients with normal renal function to know what affect mental changes. Mental changes were not present in diabetic patients with renal failure. These patients with renal failure showed more severe hyperglycemia, but corrected serum sodium concentration and calculated effective serum osmolality were low. So it is suggested that corrected serum sodium concentration and effective serum osmolality are more important factor affecting mental changes than high blood glucose levels in diabetic patients with renal failure, due to absence of osmotic diuresis.

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a heparin-dependent antibody-mediated platelet activating syndrome frequently accompanying thrombocytopenia, thromboembolism. We experienced a case of cardiopulmonary bypass using hirudin, a direct thrombin inhibitor, in a patient with HIT. The patient who showed thrombocytopenia and thrombosis after heparin re-exposure was highly suspected of having HIT. Hirudin was used in this case as an anticoagulating agent during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to prevent serious complications of heparin. Hirudin 0.3 mg/kg was mixed with a priming solution of CPB and a 0.2 mg/kg IV bolus followed by a continuous infusion of hirudin 0.15 mg/kg given for anticoagulation. After CPB, forced diuresis and platelet transfusion was performed and the patient was recovered without complication.
